Well to split hairs here, the Rapture is kinda a perversion in and of itself. It's never directly mentioned in the Bible, only a few lines about "two in the field and one is left" or something vague. All this Rapture- Mania comes from those craptastic "Left Behind" books, which are as far removed from canon as Captain Kirk is from Han Solo. (Neither mentioned out and out is the idea of the Trinity, but the idea of a Triune God is fairly necessary for Christianity to work... but that's another topic altogether.)
And every individual slightly has his own version of their faith, based upon what they believe and understand and how they grew up. So no one person's belief system is truly "pure." So I really cannot say with any sort of distinction that any other person's faith is innately incorrect. Is it my place to stand up, knock a few heads and say "Now Now shitprick, isn't it a bit ridiculous for you to make this Christian videogame espousing "kill or convert"?" NOW that would be intolerant, no? I'd be just as guilty of judging others on a grand scale. Nah, I'll just go on my merry non confrontational way SHOWING and BEING the best Christian I can be.

"...without ANY condemnation whatsoever..." Precisely. It's not really my concern. God or no God, Saint or sinner, life here on this planet is infinitely broken and I'm not the Dude whose here to really sort out the Asshats from the Morally Sound. Know why? Bc we are ALL Morally Sound Asshats.
I guess, all I'm getting at is that your suggestion to come out against the abject morons out there (a judgement right there) only sticks me right in with them.
